Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Kristianne

I'm a San Francisco city girl who loves to cook and enjoy the outdoors. My cooking style focuses on healthy recipes, but I have a huge sweet tooth that I am constantly fighting! When I'm not cooking/eating/photographing/writing about food, I'm at the hospital full-time or running. I'm addicted to blogging about food - www.mysanfranciscokitchen.com

In my opinion, every cook needs to know how to make a basic, yet delicious, creamy mushroom sauce. So here you go! I like to used organic cremini mushrooms and find they give the sauce a great flavor. In addition to the mushrooms, you will need heavy cream, milk, thyme, and garlic. After sautéing the mushrooms and allowing them to simmer in cream for a few minutes, I like to transfer half of the mixture to a Magic Bullet cup and blend, then add back to thicken up the sauce.
